It is good to have reasonable
and just laws, having them uniformly applied is better.

Reruns:
The Saudis have pressured the CIA into giving “select Syrian
Militants” shoulder-fired weapons capable of downing aircraft.
Can't wait to see one of them hit a Russian chopper. But not to
worry, ISIS will take them away from
the Good Guys and use them to bring down a civilian airliner or two.
Remember how well Charlie
Wilson's war turned out?

Ships
Slip: Maersk, the world's largest operator of container-ships, is
cutting 4,000 employees (nearly 20% of its staff), canceling orders
for new ships – including six of the world's largest container
ships and eight somewhat smaller ones.

Back
At It:“Republicans
are openly feuding over whether to seek drastic changes to Medicare,
Social Security and other entitlement programs, risking a potentially
damaging intraparty battle ahead of the 2016 elections.” Ryan,
who at least wants to pretend to be their leader, said he will pursue
major revisions in entitlements. That
may be his price for TPP.

VooDoo:
A new episode
of The Walking Dead
Iowa poll shows Bobby Jindal ahead of both Jeb and Carley.

This
Time It'll Work:
Wisconsin, not understanding that every state that has tried drug
testing welfare recipients has discovered that the poor do not use
drugs any more than the legislators do, and that the testing is a
waste of time and money. But of course, in Wisconsin as elsewhere,
the point isn't to catch drug users, it's to humiliate those who need
assistance.

Ignorance
Is Bliss:
The media really, really wants you to like Hillary and view her as
the inevitable candidate and winner. Why else do they ignore polls
by NBC/WSJ, CNN/ORC, RealClearPolitics, and Quinnipiac – all of
which show that Sanders beats Trump, just as Ms Inevitable does.

One
Hand Clapping;
Representative Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) has introduced a bill to end
the warrantless use of Stingray surveillance.

Paid
Patriotism:Remember
those mawkish 'Support Our Troops' tributes that littered sports
programing for the last few years? Turns out the Pentagon paid $6.8
million for these patriotic outpourings.What's
more patriotic than profit?

Revelation:
According to Dr. Ben Carson, retired neurosurgeon, active Seventh
Day Adventist, and Republican Wannabe, the pyramids were grain silos
built by Joseph, not tombs for the pharaohs. Wait'll he tells you
about the dinosaurs in the Garden.

Promises:
Kentucky's new governor, Matt Bevin – he who “inaccurately
claimed” an MIT education which MIT denies – wants to kick
over 400,000 off the state's Medicaid rolls, do away with
state-issued marriage licenses, and legalize cockfighting. Then next
week...

Details:
Mike Huckabee, looking for some way back
on the debate platform, wants Congress to defund the presidency
in order to prevent Obama from destroying the Constitution. Then
presumably refunding the office once Huckabee wins the election.

The fix/repair lies in re-doing the rules/properties regarding money...but the criminals won't like it because your money is for YOU, you CAN'T give it to ANYBODY. (So there's no way to rip anybody/the system off.)

Our Motto

Keep fightin' for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don't you forget to have fun doin' it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cats, rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce. And when you get through kickin' ass and celebratin' the sheer joy of a good fight, be sure to tell those who come after how much fun it was.
